User blog comment:SquidSpooks/Why is Morrison black in DMC5 but white in the anime?/@comment-967403-20180813175923

Perhaps design wise, they thought it would look more authentic? As far as Morrison goes, he only appears in the anime and going for a more realistic approach, it might of been tough realistic-fying Morrison and they thought "scrap it, we'll start anew".

Alternatively, Morrison could be a last name or something along those lines. And please don't go with the "I hope it doesn't pander to SJWs". I'm black and it's disheartening to see that everytime there's a character of color, that's like always the line I hear. >.>
